| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of the early 3rd century AD. The emperor's portrait displays the characteristic youthful features associated with his earlier coinage. A circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy in the field. The flan shows the irregular fabric typical of Pontic provincial bronze issues, with a heavy green patina obscuring some surface detail. |
